A $9.0\text{ V}$ battery is placed in a holder that will allow it to rotate freely. A wire of length $68\text{ cm}$ is formed into a loop, attached to the two ends of the battery and then placed in a magnetic field between a north pole of one bar magnet and the south pole of a second magnet as shown below.

The two sections of the wire (labeled $A$ and $B$) that are in the magnetic field each have a length, $L$, of $22\text{ cm}$. These segments are parallel to each other as well as the ends of bar magnets and are perpendicular to the magnetic field between the two magnets.

Note: the picture is not drawn to scale.

Which of the following values most closely approximates the magnitude of the magnetic force, $F_{\small{M}}$, on the section of the loop of wire labeled $A$ if the magnetic field strength, $B$, is $1.6\text{ T}$ and the resistance in the loop of wire, $R$, is $4.5\ \Omega$?

A

$2.2\text{ N}$

B

$1.4\text{ N}$

C

$0.70\text{ N}$

D

$0.18\text{ N}$
